Part A
In this part, I will compare the current CVF and the initial CVF focusing on the quadrants
rather than roles. The CVF identifies four quadrants including collaborate, create, compete and
control. The collaborate quadrant or clan culture is made up of facilitator and mentor roles. The
create quadrant or advocacy culture is made up of broker and innovator roles. The compete
quadrant also known as market culture contains director and producer roles. The control quadrant
or hierarchy culture comprises coordinator and monitor roles.
As seen in the current CVF, I am competent in some roles as opposed to other roles. For
example, in collaborate quadrant, I have scored 7.0 in mentor role and 6.4 in facilitator. This
shows that I am competent collaborator on average. Comparing this with my initial CVF, I have
improved immensely from 5.7 and 4.8 scores in mentor and facilitator roles respectively. On
average, my current scores in the two roles is 6.7 (currently) as compared to 5.3(previously), an
improvement of 1.4.
In regards to create quadrant, my current CVF scores are 4.7 (broker role) and 7.0
(innovator role) roles as opposed to the previous scores of 3.7 (broker) and 3.2 (innovator). There
has been a significant improvement in my role as an innovator (I am currently competent) but
slight improvement in broker role which means I am still incompetent as a broker. My average
scores for the create quadrant is 5.8 (currently) from 3.5 (previously), an improvement of 2.3.
In respect to compete quadrant, I have currently scored 7.0 in director role as opposed to
5.0 originally. Thus I am now competent in director role. For producer role, I am currently at 6.8
as opposed to 4.4 originally. This shows great improvement in both roles and in the quadrant at

large. I am a competent in compete quadrant. Average score for compete quadrant is 6.9
(currently) from 4.7 (previously), an improvement by 2.2.
In regards to control quadrant, my current scores in coordinator role is 6.0 as compared to
4.4 previously which shows a tremendous improvement. In monitor roles, I have currently scored
6.7 as opposed to 5.0 previously which is also an improvement. The average score for control
quadrant 6.4 (currently) from 4.7 (previously), an improvement by 1.7.
Ranking the four quadrants in terms of average competencies of the associated roles,
compete (6.9) is the top, followed by collaborate quadrant (6.7), then control quadrant (6.4) and
the least is create (5.8). However, ranking in terms of roles, director, innovator, mentor roles tie
at 7.0, followed by producer role (6.8), then monitor role (6.7), then facilitator role (6.4), then
coordinator (6.0), and least is broker role (4.7).
Based on the analysis, I have improvement in all the quadrants and roles with most
improved quadrant being create quadrant primarily due to a significant improvement in innovator
role but minimal improvement in broker role. Thus, I still need much improvement in my broker
role to become competent as a creator. My improvement was due to my resolve to be the best
employee by personally generating more innovative ideas to help solve customers’ problem at
work. My minimal performance in broker was because of nature of my work since I rarely
engage in brokerage tasks hence lack skills.
The second most improved quadrant was compete mainly due to both director and
producer roles. I only need slight improvement in producer role to be fully competent in this
quadrant. My improvement in both director and producer roles were due to my personal resolve
to put much focus on my work.
